Where were all of these concerns when Obama was president? It’s hard to take Acosta all that seriously when it seems fairly convenient for him to call out Trump while he ignored Obama’s blunder in Afghanistan for the last eight years.

Trump on Afghanistan strategy: "we will not talk about numbers of troops." (Don't the American people deserve to know how many we send?)

NO. Why would you want to make it possible for the enemy to know how many we’re sending and when? You think it’s a coincidence that the Middle East is such a disaster after the Obama administration and their ‘transparency’?

Derp.

Requests to reveal troop numbers from the same network @CNN that handed out debate questions to Hillary Clinton. No thanks, we're good.

Acosta is trying to make this out to be something sinister, that Trump doesn’t want to tell Americans what he’s up to. He doesn’t understand that this is how adults run the government, he was used to playtime with Obama.

Typically a presidential prime time address comes with major policy announcement or marks pivotal moment for country. We didn't get that.
